redneck — I think they renamed it CHOP because someone read their Hakim Bey and understood that an autonomous zone is necessarily temporary. Oops.

When I was in Honors English class as a Freshman in college they had me reading the French Existentialists. Hop, skip and a jump to the Frankfurt School Marxists. They laid their plans well.

They did well covertly, but intelligence went open source and it's all laid bare. The choice to know is yours.

I took a history of philosophy class that started with Aristotelian and had a grand culmination at... Marxism. The professor had a clear attachment to it.

I'd provide feedback in the classroom, and when other students were asked what they thought, they'd refer back to my comments and say "what he said". Glad I could inject some reason into the conversation, but I only took the class once. Who knows how many uncritical thinkers have offloaded the task to the professor.

Well, now you're hated by everyone with a political agenda. If what you're saying is true, then there's no reason for you to trade liberty for someone else's authority.

I’m surprised he didn’t move on to postmodernism. It’s been co-opted, IMHO, by a lot of Marxist sympathizers to negate pretty much anything their detractors say. Though, Thaddeus Russell can give a far more eloquent explanation than I can.

Strange times abound, and although I’d like to buy the simulation theory, I think it’s more a matter of the internet disrupting everything from news to personal interactions. If it’s going to right itself, I think it’ll take another 20 years and I fear it will be accompanied by some bad legislation and/or cyborgish implants.

I have long thought that implants may be the answer to many special needs. Hey, I have long wished for external storage.

Some people could use a coprocessor. Imagine if an implant could take care of someone's basic needs instead of requiring 24/7 attention.

They would still require attention, but if we cannot have anything else in this world, I want us to have a world where people don't need someone changing their diaper their entire life.

The deaf community talks about how rich sign language is, but English is a second language for them. A deaf woman sent me a flirt. I asked her "How do you like Texas?" She responded:
"yes Texas
Adriana deaf ok sorry ok"
I have read that deaf people often have difficulties with grammar, but I was not expecting that!

In "Sound and Fury" deaf people worried that cochlear implants would turn people into cyborgs.

I completely disagree, but if implants think for the person...

Even though I'm sure there are some commie spies around, not every Chinese is such. But anyway, before I do any business with them, I try to figure out if they're not commies.

Sorry, guys. I live in New Hampshire, where we have more state reps per capita than any other state. Actually, nearly twice as many per capita than second place Pennsylvania. My town (2 stoplights!) is in a district with 3 other towns (weighing in with one stoplight, zero stoplights and I think the other town just got a stoplight in the last year but I'm not sure), and we share 3 reps. So until recently (and I'm really not sure if this has actually changed), my 3 state representatives each represented one traffic light.

Even with the added traffic light that I'm not absolutely sure about, those 3 reps still each represent at most one police department. I know one of the towns contracts with my town for coverage, and now that I think about it, I'd be surprised if the other 2 towns don't have a similar arrangement.

I'm pretty well represented in Concord. The fact that I voted against my senator and all 3 of my reps doesn't change that. If you think you're underrepresented in your state and local governments, agitate for change. If you simply disagree with the people your neighbors outvoted you on, please do something more constructive than simple name calling. If you can't, do try for better than just commie. It shows a real lack of imagination. I remember when that was a specific enemy that my unit was tasked to visit Europe for. Now it seems to mean any elected official that someone on the internet disapproves of. Sad, really; it seems almost like what the commies were doing.
